If you are a graduate of UNSW and your original testamur (degree certificate) has been irretrievably lost, stolen, destroyed or damaged, or if you have changed your name you may apply for a replacement testamur.
Replacement testamurs are issued in the current testamur style, but will show the original date of graduation and the date of re-issue.
Conditions
A replacement testamur cannot be issued if the original testamur is still in your possession. A testamur is a legal document and only one can be issued per award.
If you still have the damaged or incorrect testamur it must be returned to UNSW Graduations before a replacement can be issued.
If you are no longer in possession of the original testamur a Statutory Declaration must be submitted with this application.
A Statutory Declaration must be completed and include the details of the testamur (i.e. the award on the testamur, year of graduation, name of university) along with details of its loss/theft. It must be completed fully in the presence of an authorised witness, then signed by you and co-signed by the authorised witness. A Statutory Declaration can be downloaded at the following link:

If there has been a change of name, an application must be made to to correct or change your UNSW record. Please see further information at the following link: https://student.unsw.edu.au/change-personal-details and please note certified documentary evidence must be provided.
Please be aware that if you provide falsified documents to external agencies which misrepresent your qualifications from UNSW, then this could result in one of a range of penalties, from failure in the course or suspension (where applicable), exclusion and/or the matter may be reported to ICAC. As a student, you should be aware of your obligations and responsibilities under the Student Code which can be found here: https://student.unsw.edu.au/conduct.
